The skies flash with fury, and the world trembles. A storm is rising, and only the Thunderborn can stand against the abominations and spectral horrors summoned by HER will. Will you answer the call?

This is the first of several major updates, bringing long-planned additions to the game, and many of those that were shaped by your feedback. Some arrived in early February (read the patch notes here), but now, I am thrilled to unveil everything that remained behind the veil.

Descend into the abyss beneath the Cathedral of Veiled Lament. Explore breathtaking yet deadly vistas and face the guardian of Hadracon’s Scroll—Nomme, The Summoner of Tears.

I have altered the location of this scroll to make progression feel more natural and introduce greater challenges on the path to unlocking new zones. To open the gates of Hadracon’s Citadel, you must now first overcome its keeper.

The dead rise at HER call. Put them to rest once more.

HER will has stirred ancient titans of fire and ash. Their purpose is destruction.

HER twisted craft has led to monstrous mutations, creatures grown beyond reason.

Deep in the dungeon lies the Circle of the Damned. Aid the ancient king Sedogor to purge the arena of filth and claim a weapon so powerful it tears through reality itself. Nothing shall stand between you and the cleansing.

• New weapons and items
  
• Rich chests with greater rewards
  
• An optional boss with a unique reward
  
• Gameplay improvements and fixes

The path to cleansing has only just begun. More challenges, expanded world activities, and even greater battles lie ahead. A chilling horror is coming.

To everyone who has already answered the call—I cannot thank you enough for your support. Join us in our sacred Discord[discord.gg], leave your mark with a Steam review, and prepare for what’s to come.

Full patch notes for the Thunderborn Update:
Note: ⚡ indicates changes inspired by the community!

• Completely new, massive dungeon underneath the Cathedral of Veiled Lament (the first location).
  
• Arena quest where only the mightiest will prevail... with a reward fit for a Vindicator.
  
• New optional boss fight.
  
• 5 completely new enemy types for the two new factions of monsters: undead and creatures.
  
• ⚡ Any chest (including secret ones) can now be Rich, with a lot more ichor and items of at least Elder (blue) quality. The chance of a chest being Rich scales with difficulty aspects.
  
• Powerful new weapons and multiple items across all types (with the majority of them suggested by the community!). This includes 2 unique weapons, that drop from the new optional boss and as a reward for completing the Arena.

• ⚡ Amount of ichor received per each individual item was reduced.

• Bosses health now scales properly with the Toughness difficulty modifier (it was capped at 10k before). Expect major differences in the amount of health on higher difficulties. You’ve been warned.
  
• Fixed an issue where meteors summoned by the Dragonhead Necklace were not dealing damage.
